U.S. Judge Restores Protections for Gray Wolves; Australia Declares Koalas an Endangered Species

HeadlineFeb 14, 2022

A federal judge has restored protections for gray wolves across much of the United States. The Trump administration had stripped the gray wolves of their Endangered Species Act protections during the final weeks of Trump’s presidency. Wildlife advocates celebrated the ruling but warned more action is needed to protect wolf populations.

In related news, Australia declared the koala an endangered species due to years of drought, bush fires, disease and habitat loss.
